Let us see how things have shaped up for Cintas this earnings season.
Factors to Influence Q2 Results
Cintas has gained from strength across its healthcare and hygiene end markets over the past few quarters. The trend is expected to have continued in the fiscal second quarter. The demand for personal protective products has been solid, though not at the same level as during peak COVID times. Also, healthy demand for first-aid cabinet service is anticipated to have been beneficial for the First Aid and Safety Services segment.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate of the First Aid and Safety Services’ segment revenues are pegged at $198 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, suggesting a 2.1% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure and a decrease of 0.5% from the previous quarter’s reported number.
Strengthening economic recovery worldwide and the reopening of businesses have been improving the capacities of Cintas’ customers. This, in turn, is expected to have aided the performance of the Uniform Rental and Facility Services segment. Also, investments made to boost growth opportunities are likely to have been other tailwinds. However, challenges related to the labor market are anticipated to have been concerning.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Uniform Rental and Facility Services’ revenues is pegged at $1,523 million for the fiscal second quarter, indicating an 8% increase from the year-ago reported figure and 1% growth from the previous quarter’s reported number. All Other’s revenues are pinned at $184 million, indicating a 21.1% year-over-year increase and a 7.5% decrease from the previous quarter’s reported figure.
Solid product offerings, efficient sales force, investments in building facilities and innovative capabilities are expected to have been tailwinds. Focus on reducing costs and improving operational execution as well as debt-reduction are expected to have positively impacted the company’s performance.
On the flip side, a hike in wages, freight, supplies and energy costs are predicted to have been concerning. Woes related to international operations, stiff competition and high taxes are anticipated to have ailed.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Cintas’ fiscal second-quarter revenues is pegged at $1,906 million, suggesting a rise of 8.5% from the year-ago reported figure and a 0.5% increase from the previous quarter’s reported number. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share is pegged at $2.62, suggesting no change from the year-ago reported number and a decline of 15.8% from the previous quarter’s reported figure.
